What motivates you?

<p>What do you use to keep yourself awake in the wee hours of the night. What s the torch you use to force yourself on? Is it college? The feeling of sucess? The dream of being a doctor? pLease share. I need some motivation.</p>

<p>Here’s a list of my motivation:

  1. I don’t want to be a loser.
  2. I want to go to college.
  3. I don’t want people thinking I’m a loser.
  4. I want to be a winner.
  5. I enjoy not failing at life.</p>

<p>In the wee hours of the night, I’m just thinking about getting whatever done. That’s it. To do that, I’ll sometimes walk around or dance to a song or get water, but I’m not doing too much thinking.</p>

<p>My goal is to get an A with minimum effort possible. That means I work my balls off first semester and I get to chill second semester… it works out well</p>

<p>In the wee hours of the night, the only thing that motivates me to do work is my competitive nature- if it wasn’t going to help me beat everyone else, then I wouldn’t do it all.</p>

<p>My parents are on my back about stuff, I want to be a doctor (cliche), I want to go to a great Graudate school (Undergrad at a state uni is fine for me), I screwed up Fresh year and feel like I have to redeem myself. That and my extreme aversion to any grade that isn’t an A, which usually leads me to hating all sorts of academic life becasue the ocassional B is inevitable:(</p>

<p>In the wee hours of the night, I am sleeping. :D</p>

<p>The rest of the time, I think in terms of “this essay, if done properly, can pay for 1/20 of my college tuition for at least one year.” Homework? Haven’t done any for a while :smiley: But really, I should do tomorrow’s hw…else I might be in trouble.</p>

<p>hmm, for some reason laughing about competitiveness motivation</p>
